AGENDA3. TED talks –allusions, cont.Brain MagicHow to Live Before you DieThe Puzzle of MotivationWhy we do what we doHow I Held My BreathWrite a response to the prompt on page 52: To what extent does one’sThe new arrivals to Abackground affect his or her perception of a given situation? For example:Americans in Pico Iyer’s “Where Worlds Collide” are less affected by their new surroundings than they are by their own expectations of the land and promise that awaits them. Iyer describes the “unending cacophony” (p6) of sounds and the “opportunities [that] are swirling dizzily, promiscuously” (p2) within the newcomers’ vision. Even so, the barrage of colors and noise do not suggest that they are going any where but the “Land of Opportunity,” a phrase whose idea is repeated at least four times. This allusion to the “Promised Land,” (p1) a biblical place that beckoned God’s chosen people, is referenced as a new life they can “claim” in the “The City of Angels.” So in spite of images of overwhelming transportation options (p2), overpriced snacks (p4), and overzealous sales pitches (p2), the new arrivals “await” something; their expectations of the opportunities are not even squelched as they move into their new home. Iyer’s piece strongly suggests that expectations are a part of one’s background, and in this case, expectations are enough to hide otherwise daunting visions from one’s experience.
